Organizer Update

Over the past two days I have been designing and lasering my organizer box. When I first tried to put it together the shelves that I added did not align with the cutout places it was supposed to fit in. So, I redesigned the shelves hoping it would work. But, when I printed it again it did not fit. I ended up sawing off the edges of the shelf where it was supposed to fit in—to make it only insert on one side of the box. I glued the other sides to make sure it wouldn’t fall. Hopefully this will work.

Finished rings

Sarah and I finished making our global rings. We used a photo editing software to make the perfect size for our pictures. We printed them out on cardstock paper with an inkjet printer. Then we glued the pictures in our rings using superglue and put a protective layer of epoxy over them.

Cell Project

Coen and Blas’s cell project for their science class. It’s a pinball machine. Currently, a cell pinball machine is being built. On 3/12/19 Coen and Blas started to laser cut the parts of the cell so that they could start to assemble the cell. The parts of the cell were going to be the obstacles for the ball. They needed to cut two pieces for each part of the cell in order for the pieces to be able to bounce the ball off of. On 3/13/19 they finished the laser cutting the cell parts and they organized all of the pieces for the cell and set up table for the assembly of the project. On 3/14/19 Coen was absent and Blas started to assemble the project. The cell has sides that are at a slant. Blas could not attach the one side of the cell. He sanded one of the edges of the side piece so that he could attach one side to the other. Next he glued pieces of wood that he had sawed to the edge of the of each. On 3/15/19 Coen and Blas started to glue the parts of the cell together. They also attached the side pieces to the body of the cell.

The first pinball machine attempt ever in the makerspace.

Finished project: Name in Languages

This is my finished project.

I had a few problems with this. At first, when I was trying to design it the first time, it wouldn’t come out correct. The words would be mashed together and the actual languages would be added with different things. I had to re-save it about three times before it actually came out correctly. I had to save it as a PDF file, had to convert text to curves, and then I had to transfer the file to the laser cutter.

Back of our amp, the silver thing is a heat sink system that keeps the amp cool so it dosent explode.

We added rectangular holes in the side structure to decrease the weight of the speaker, as well as decreasing the vibration of the chassis to produce better sound quality.

My name in multiple languages

For my second project, I am going to have my name written in multiple languages.the first one is ダニエル. This is Daniel in Japanese. The literal translation is Danieru. The second one is دانيال. This translates to Danial. This is Arabic. Next, we have डैनियल. This is Hindi. Translation: Dainiyal. Also, there is 丹尼爾. This is traditional Chinese. Translate: Dānní’ěr. These are just a few names that have been written in multiple languages. I also plan to make a plaque with all of the translations on there. I will have to double check some of these with people who go here to make sure that I have it correct.

Global Chicken

I made a chicken using almost all outlines of the continents and some islands. It turned out better than I had though. I though it wouldn’t look like a chicken what so ever. I learned how to use Corel properly and how to break curves and lines apart which were the continents to then place them in the right place.
